The right-back has been continuing his inverted midfield role, which sees him slot into central midfield in possession.
Alexander-Arnold has surprised many of his teammates with how he can shine in midfield, according to defender Joe Gomez. The latter often slots into right back when Alexander-Arnold goes into midfield.
“It was surprising to do it as quickly as it happened for me,” stated Gomez to the Liverpool Echo.
“But it’s a case of constantly trying to learn and the manager helps me do that. He takes the pressure off at times by just giving me key points. “Everyone knows Trent’s ability to find passes is world class and I don’t think I’m expected to do that. I don’t need to do x, y and z, but for me finding that balance of understanding what my role is defensively is important.
“I need to understand what I need to do, to be the best version of me.”
Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold is bringing about tactical flexibility from his teammates as well.
